What stage of your writing career are you in? Did you start off with rose colored glasses, as well?
1: About invoicing issues ....
2: That employers (clients, editors, people, however you would like to refer to them) would try to get away with no paying writers....
3: About querying and how often it needed to occur in order to maintain a sustainable income ...
4: How important networking is and maintaining professionalism at all times ....
5: That there are days when people will not take you seriously and throw many other expectations on your plate ....
